I don't frequent any of these news groups, so sorry if this question appears a little out of line or has been discussed to no end . Anyway, does anyone know of a manufacture of Virtual Reality Equipment? I don't think the camera equipment will be difficult to find. (Sony makes this cigar size camera called the XC-999, for about $1400 big ones. I have been told the guys at Argon National Labs really like it!) What I'm looking for is the the helmet. Some sort of device which contains two monitors and optics so you won't go cross eyed looking at images inches from your eyes. The end result should be a three dimensional image presented to the wearer of the helmet. Again, I'm looking for a Virtual Reality vision system, specificly the helmet. If anyone knows of a manufacture, send me some E-mail. Also, if anyone knows of alternative ways of viewing virtual reality which allows more than one person access to the same image, I'd like to read your comments as well. I should add I am only interested with the image at this time. The added cost of helmet position sensors is something I am trying to avoid. ...thanks Rick Stuart 708 512-7875 Lisle, IL
